I wrote a package called "mailsplit" (see below) to turn my
specifications into splits.  I write:
 
   ("gnus-development"      :regexp "\\(ding@ifi.uio.no\\|ding@gnus.org\\)"
                            :mail-address "ding")

It writes (fancy mail splitting, of course):

(| 
  (direct "\\(ding@ifi.uio.no\\|ding@gnus.org\\)" 
     "Mail.mailing-lists.gnus-development")
  ("sender" "owner-ding" "Mail.mailing-lists.gnus-development") 
  ("to" "ding-outgoing" "Mail.mailing-lists.gnus-development"))

Where direct is defined with:

(prepend-to-list-unique nnmail-split-abbrev-alist
			'(direct . "to\\|cc\\|apparently-to"))

(`prepend-to-list-unique' is my own creation.)

That "to" "ding-outgoing" line is because I'm on some lists where an
automatic tool sends directly to the "outgoing" aliases.  (It's not
nice, but it allows sendmail to suppress duplicates for those poor
slobs who aren't using GNUS.)

The "sender" "owner-ding" is because I'm on a list that will
occasionally get a message with no evident direction to the list.
Someone BCC's it, probably.

Incidentally, I haven't yet released mailsplit because of lack of time
(or rather, other things to do), but if someone wants it, email me.
